I find this amazingly impressive. I've tried to start writing a novel, and always end up staring at a computer screen for an hour with nothing coming out.
Bjornolf - I thought you writing something for your kids to read, spill the beans.... what are you writing?

DukeUsul - what was the topic or plot or theme of your novel?
Yeah.... I don't know.... that was the problem :(( :(( :(( :(( :((

Bless his heart! He's been so busy painting and taping rooms, changing light bulbs, repairing the armoire and assembling the GRILL that he hasn't had any time to look at the LTE!

I did CellR's "Good Luck" post in Old Gold--one of Wake Forest's colors.

A "Good Luck" message in black would have been boring.

CellR, you could sing the alma mater:

Dear old Wake Forest, Thine is a noble name;
Thine is a glorious fame, Constant and true.
We give thee of our praise, Adore thine ancient days,
Give thee our humble lays, Mother, so dear.

But you may find yourself spending more money on software... ;) My husband really likes Adobe Lightroom.

If you need a place to post photos, I recommend smugmug.com.

You know, it was nice when I was 7 hours ahead of EST. I'd be up, having breakfast, and DA was still up, posting away.

Anyone have a spare $2800 to get me back to the Antsiranana time zone? :D

My favorite inhabitant of all the Star Wars universe, and one of my favorite all-time movie characters.
I LOVE his Colt .45 commercials. I also think he got totally whored by the Batman people. He played Harvey Dent in the original, damnit. They had NO right to bring in Tommy Lee Jones to play Two-Face. Billy Dee would have made an AWESOME Two-Face. The Batman cartoon that came out a few years later even had a black Dent, and I thought he was awesome.

I'm a Tommy Lee Jones fan generally, but he played Two-Face like a poor man's Joker, and that's NOT what Two-Face is AT ALL. Billy Dee was MADE to play Two-Face. Of all the sins that series of movies committed, and there were LOTS, that one irks me THE MOST. Sorry, rant over.
